Exploring the dual identity of Puerto Ricans, this book delves into how they navigate life between the island of Puerto Rico and the U.S. mainland. It highlights the unique perspective of Puerto Ricans who see themselves primarily as part of a distinct nation, despite their U.S. citizenship since 1917 and Puerto Rico's status as a commonwealth since 1952. The narrative captures the complexities of cultural identity and belonging within this vibrant community.

This is a very useful book, a manual that offers a comprehensive view of what Puerto Rico is and has been: its history, circumstances, and problems... It is also book written in a simple way and easy to understand, which serves as a base and introduction to the topic for those who know nothing about our country.
